py-actions / py-dependency-install

A GitHub Action that installs Python package dependencies from a user-defined requirements.txt file path with optional pip, setuptools, and wheel installs/updates

py-actions/py-dependency-install GitHub Action

This GitHub Action installs Python package dependencies from a user-defined requirements.txt file path with pip, setuptools, and wheel installs/updates during execution. A Python package environment report is displayed at the end of Action execution.

This Action is tested nightly with cPython v3.9.x - v3.12.x in the latest Linux, macOS, and Windows GitHub Actions runner environments.

Quick Start

Insert a dependency installation step under the steps: field in a GitHub workflow job with a configuration like this:

Default

Uses path requirements.txt and updates pip, setuptools, and wheel before the install.

steps:
  # this Action should follow steps to set up Python build environment
  - name: Install Python dependencies
    uses: py-actions/py-dependency-install@v4

Define the requirements.txt path

Define a requirements.txt file on a path relative to the root of your repository.

steps:
  # this Action should follow steps to set up Python build environment
  - name: Install Python dependencies
    uses: py-actions/py-dependency-install@v4
    with:
      path: "path/to/requirements.txt"

Toggle pip, setuptools, and wheel installs/updates off

The pip, setuptools, and wheel install/updates can be toggled off in your configuration. Use one or more of the update-pip, update-setuptools, and update-wheel settings with a boolean string to customize the default behavior:

steps:
  # this Action should follow steps to set up Python build environment
  - name: Install Python dependencies
    uses: py-actions/py-dependency-install@v4
    with:
      update-pip: "false"
      update-setuptools: "false"
      update-wheel: "false"
